There has been plenty of direct copy cats like Gianna Sisters or Unearthed but every one I can think of were mediocre at best. Note I'm talking about games that don't even hide what they're copying. final fantasy riped of dragon quest --- 3 things 1. i am female 2. i havea msucle probelm its hard for me to typ well 3.does her janpuu dance <cite>AceMos posted [p:928603515] in Kickstarte...

And you guys mention genre, but other games in this category play similar, but don't usually look alike. Contra looks nothing like gunstar heroes and neither looks like cuphead. --- i.imgur.com/VDLyhiI.gif <cite>DippinSauce posted [p:928603939] in Kickstarte...

I don't know if you've seen the mobile game store recently, but this is far less of a rip off than many of those games. There are literally 100 games that look identical to Candy Crush, for example.

untrustful 10/10/19 7:46:28 PM #69:	It's too on the nose for me to give this the benefit of the doubt. Like yeah, they put work into this game, but that alone doesn't invalidate the imitation of art style, gameplay mechanics, animations, and the boss to boss encounters all in one. If they did this without selling it, I'd be more comfortable with it as an homage. But this is an homage with a price tag, a successor to the Mona Lisa called the Mano Louis, the statue of liberty tribute called the sculpture of independence. --- My Mario Maker Levels https://supermariomakerbookmark.nintendo.net/profile/untrustful?type=posted <cite>untrustful posted [p:928608113] in Kickstarte...
